Having a lot of trouble downloading this template... do I need a code or something? Also, I'm desperately searching for a template providing a kind of "Helpful Links" section or something similar where I can add other blogs I stay in touch with/refer to...

Istalled this on the husband's blog for him. He really likes it, and it'll work fine for what he does and can do. I think it is beautiful, but I wish the grey fields were actually not part of the image itself. That kind of takes away from the adaptability of the template to one's needs (widening the columns, altering the opacity, etc.) Oh well.

Thanks for contacting me. I was able to download onto the computer, but for some reason it downloaded as a zipped file. I'm not sure what to do in order to unzip it so photobucket will accept it. (Hopefully).

Thankyou so much! I think I am going to wait for my husband to return home and ask him how to use Winzip. Then if he doesn't know how, I'll take you up on that offer. Thankyou! :) The rain template is beautiful and I look foward to seeing if it works with my blog.

ok. i have the pics uploaded, everythign is in the template, and it all shows up- but in the preview the background doesn't re-size to fit the window... so i have a white border around everything and the text obviously isn't lining up. i'm sure i've done something horrendous. is there an easy fix? thanks! i'm so excited to use this template!

Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.XML error message: The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup.

PLEASE answer these equestions. I'm having the same problem that "CentoreReport" mentioned.

This is the message I get:

"Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.XML error message: The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup."

I followed your instructions exactly. I'm using new Blogger. Please help!

cool layout dude. i think u need some adjustment here. do some label for each of your tamplates/ layout whether it is XML /HTML. so that we can differ which one can be used with beta blogger and which one need to be converted to classic template. hope you apply it as soon as possible. i'll look at ur site again soon coz im interested to use one of ur layout that is in XML. keep it up! =)

Please help. Its a gorgeous template, and i'd like to use it for my photoblog!

Fixed the above thingy by reverting to classic template, but now for some reason, the background comes out to be blank. I have uploaded the picture at photobucket but still it aint workig. Please help!

i have had it uploaded ,it is displayed ..but the prob is ,the template does`nt seem to resize to fit the windows resolution,leaving a white border on the right.Does anyone has the solution for my probelm as to fixing the resolution ?

Ok I am officially confused! I tried to use this one to change my blogger layout just to see if I was smart enough to figure it out. It seems that I have...............sort of. Am I no longer going to be able to add the boxes I want and stuff? I had links to other blogs that I would like to still have show up on my blog but they have dissapeared. I went in to customize and that dissapeared too. Ohhh woe is me. That is what I get for trying to be smart!

hey, i love your template for the rain, but one problem i encountered is that i do not know how to change the colour of my font to suit your template, my font colour is currently black, can u help me with this, maybe to a lighter tone of grey like the one in your blog?

I also love this image, but am having some trouble. When I loaded it, I'm getting a partial tiling effect, rather than having the image filling the entire page and none of the text properties worked. I also need to be aboe to add other widgets such as pages and a blogroll as there are no tabs. is this possible? Thanks. SueH

Hi again: I was able to enlarge the image to full screen size. Then I used Minima Stretch as the starting template, add the new background, adjusted the margins, and added a third column on the far right where I will place videos, pitures, etc. If anyone wants the image size and the code, I can pass it along. I don't know much about HTML but managed to piece together how to do this from several different sources. Also I didn't have to use Photobucket. As suggested by other sources, I made a temporary post of the image in Blogger and worked from that !! Now I just have to tinker with the colours and a few other bits to make it look really good.

Btw, none of your links to automatically post a link on redit, facebook, yahoo etc. seem to be working. I was trying to link directly to the template so I could give you credit as the designer but can't find the direct link.

Nice templates but I have a question.I really like this template and want to use in with the 3 columns but still use the old classic template. Do I have to upgrade to the new layout before I can use this one or can I just copy and paste the code into the edit HTML of my Classic one?Also it would be nice to be able to see what these look like by having the option to preview it before downloading. Just a suggestion.
